Comments

(Set forth by above question #, if applicable.
Use “Additional Comments” Sheet, if needed)

File#: 95-233051

#1: With microscopic hair comparison, one cannot determine from the notes that the examination was conducted

in an appropriate manner. 1 ;

#2: Documentation is poor. The notes are not dated and are in pencil and not ink. Abbreviations are used to

describe the microscopic characteristics of th e hair. These abbreviations are difficult to interpret. There is no
documentation by the technician that hair was recovered from Q 1 8 or other Q items as stated in the report.
